ImarriedMARY · Sep 17, 2008

they are 6 days in flowering (how much longer til they start to like get hella bushy?) they are under a 65W flood light 2 daylight grow lights and 2 100w CFL... and how much longer would people think i have left? :leaf:

i am going to go from newer ^(main post)^ and then go to older pics of my plants

these pics are from 9-12-08
sorry some or all the pics are blurry (shitty camera but better then nothing)

ImarriedMARY · Sep 17, 2008

these are from 9-11-08 and no there was not only one light i moved the other lights so i could get better pics and left that one so i would have some lighting

ImarriedMARY · Sep 17, 2008

9-08-08 they were little cuz they didn't have enough light now i got more lighting and hopefully soon to add more

ImarriedMARY · Sep 17, 2008

that's all i have for now but after this post there will be more recent pics if anyone has any questions then feel free to ask away (i am using miracle grow and i don't see why people aren't to happy about it it's working fine for me and i used half MG potting soil and half MG moisture control no nutes, no ferts, just water and sugar (once) and soon to do it again

ImarriedMARY · Sep 17, 2008

anyone have an opinion on how they are? lol

They are lookin nice, I usually like my plants a lil more dark green. But if it's startin to stink your going to have some nice buds if you bud them right.

i think it's the lighting and camera that's making them light like that my leaves are kinda light but i don't know how to make to darker and by "bud them right" you mean like harvesting and curing right? cuz yeah i've read like 4 or 5 different things on how to cure and what not

looking good for mg soil but it has already caused you some problems.

your yellow leaves are probably a nitrogen deficiency but its too late to fix it for this grow. next time if it happens in veg add something like a 10-0-0 nute to boost nitrogen.

when it comes time to harvest you are going to have a difficult choice. normally you would flush the soil to remove nutes and make the smoke smoother. but flushing doesn't work with mg soil - it just releases more nutes. this is the major reason people don't like mg - that and its not natural and not optimized for weed

makes sense thanks and the mix is over 3 months so the nutes are gone basically (besides the little bit i put in before i turned to 12/12 and what should i do about the nutes? and flushing? is there any choice at all? and if i just flushed the nutes out do you think that would work or would it be a water over load for the plants? and when would i flush it originally? flushing it was how i used to feed it now i brought it down a bit to 1/2 gallon instead of 1 1/2 gallon it's all in a 10 gallon fish tank... i covered the sides so the roots are effected (i hope) thanks for the info desert rat

i'm trying to avoid a "i slept at holiday inn" moment by telling you more than i know (see my signature line?) but...

what i have heard on this site from people who have the experience is that you can't flush mg at all because the nutes are water soluble and are released by flushing. they also say that the nutes will last the entire grow with mg.

so, don;t flush, you're probably going to get a rougher smoke than you otherwise would but it will probably still be better smoking than purchased weed.

one rather exotic option you do have is to water cure your bud. look it up under growfaq harvesting and curing. the water curing wll take the place of flushing and wash all of the crap from your weed.

next time use foxfarm or other organic soil.

awesome thanks

bad day for the plants =[[[[[[ i was gone for 3 days i thought i left them enough room to grow for 2 days to check up on it and they had a growth spurt and got burnt so i was forced to top them i took these pics before i cut the stem all the way to the nodes and will this create 2 colas?

that was the after math and what should i expect from this? (i'm expecting a lot of stress) but so far they are healing quite nice

they look like they will survive, and it might grow back two on the plant that is the 4th picture. not sure the rest
good luck, watch that height bro!

New and More lights.
Got a Y socket for two lights =]]] looks good.
Started a clone and have 4 babies 5 days from sprout. 1 week from seed in soil.
the lights i have a 40w big cfl and a 23w on one y socket and on the other one i have the same thing. For my clones i have 23w and same for my babies.

and of course NEW PIX!!!!! :leaf:

sorry for the dark pic

and the last pic is under the plant looking up =]]]

ImarriedMARY · Sep 28, 2008

and obviously not all the lights are on i had to turn some off so it wouldn't fuck up the camera i have (it's cheap) hahaha

As for the MG soil. Well i can't speak from experience so I wouldn't want you to take me to seriously either. But I would think if the nutes in the soil are water soluable then they would get weaker w/ each consecutive watering. So they would get weaker as time goes on & since you say you are 3+ months into it (right?) then they should be somewhat weak now. & if you do a flush @ the end of flowering as normal then it would be beneficial. I would think if you can do a super saturating flush then while you wouldn't be getting 0 nutes it would still be beneficial.

First grow and so far so good
